Chapter 68_ I hate ugly ladies
The shop’s Manager’s eyes widened when she spotted the people walking into her boutique, even though the lady of the Anderson’s called to inform her about their arrival today, she was still in shock..
She sprang up to her feet and quickly ushered them in to the VIP space..
“Mrs Anderson.. it’s a pleasure to have you here..” The lady said with a bright smile on her face..
Arya looked around staring at the numerous white dresses on several hangers and mannequins..
“Cathy there’s no need for the formalities anymore, anyway we need something special for a special lady”
Arya blushed hard with a small smile on her lips, something bothered her a bit though, since it was still a forced marriage in a way due to the circumstances they found themselves, was it really necessary to buy an expensive gown?C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
Cathy’s eyes fell on Arya who was lost in her own thoughts, “I must admit that your daughter in-law is really pretty, and we have the latest collection of gowns that she’d love”
Mia walked in with a sigh, Ray had refused to go with his dad to the male’s section, as always he wanted to be with Arya, he caused quite a ruckus out there..
“Arya how do you manage to handle Ray? that kid is soo strong headed, I feel like my head is about to burst”
Arya chuckled, she still failed pretty hard to understand the type of unbreakable bond she had with Ray, maybe because he was really cute or just connected to her soul..
“let my little cutie be Mia.. please come help me choose a gown”

Meanwhile at the male section, Kyle was going through a magazine while Bryan stood in front of him while a small sigh escaped his lips every now and then…
“Do you really have to be this difficult dude? it’s just fitting.. try something out at least”
Kyle raised his head to Bryan who was on the verge of losing it, can’t be see through him that he was forced to be here?..
“I really don’t need to try anything on.. just get anything on the racks I won’t mind”
Ray came out in a white tuxedo with a wide grin on his face..
“Daddy.. how do I look?”
Kyle placed the magazine aside and flashed a smile at his son who was definitely rocking in the dashing tuxedo..
“As always.. cute!”
“I’ll go show Arya immediately.. I’m sure she can give me way more compliments than you daddy” After saying that, he dashed off to the female’s section..
Kyle pointed to Ray’s direction, his own son prefers others compliment other than his own..
“I have no idea where I went wrong.. Ray gives all the credits to Arya, sometimes I feel like strangling her whenever she is asleep, how can my own son compare me to her?”
Bryan chuckled at Kyle’s level of jealousy, the dude was competing with his soon to be wife over his son’s attention..
“She’s a great lady, and Ray likes her very much.. and I’m sure with time you’ll learn to do that too”
Kyle’s brows furrowed at the thought of he and Arya becoming lovers, he felt something shift in his stomach..
“I rather remain single than have a real relationship with Arya.. that lady is very shameless and she doesn’t miss an opportunity to get close to me”
Bryan touched his forehead with a sigh how on earth would he make Kyle understand that he was still holding onto Charlotte’s memories..
“Fine! if you say so.. but don’t come running back to me begging for relationship advice”

Arya came out of the fitting room in a white gown elegant and refined, it was a classic fairytale-inspired masterpiece.
The fitted lace-covered bodice featured delicate, floral patterns and subtle sparkling accents highlighting Arya’s slender figure.
The sweetheart neckline and delicate cap sleeves added a touch of vintage charm while the flowing A-line skirt fell in soft graceful fold like a gentle breeze on a summer day.
Elizabeth and Mia raised their head when they heard a light footstep approaching them, they were both awestruck..
“Wow.. you look amazing in that Arya. I’m sure Kyle won’t be able to keep his eyes off you when he sees you in that” Mia murmured moving around Arya slowly..
“Don’t lie to her.. I hate ugly ladies and she is no exception”
Arya snapped her head to the one who just made that statement, her eyes momentarily rolled at his words, wasn’t this the female section? or perhaps he’s here to cause trouble…
“Well you are the most unattractive man I’ve ever laid my eyes on.. don’t think so highly of yourself like you’re some god” Arya retorted with a cold glare..
Kyle arched a brow when he heard her speak “I’m unattractive? you all heard that right?”
Ray stood in between the two who were about to start their endless arguments again, he shot his dad a mean look..
“You always look for ways to pick on Arya daddy”
Kyle stared down at his son feigning anger, he pointed a finger at Arya who was trying her best to muffle her laughter..
“You think I’m a troublemaker?”
Ray gave a firm nod “Yes! daddy you’re a troublemaker”

Sharon stepped down from her car and was a little bit surprised to see another car blocking her path..
She pulled off her dark sunglasses and took graceful steps to the black car blocking her way..
And at the same time Vanessa stepped out with a smirk on her lips, as soon as Sharon saw who it was she shook her head slowly..
“And what is the meaning of this?”
Vanessa placed both hands beneath her bossom while resting her lower half against her car’s bonnet..
“Meaning of what?” Vanessa asked innocently with a shrug..
Sharon took a deep breath and walked closer to Vanessa who wasn’t ready to move out of the way..
“Don’t get on my nerves, tell me exactly what you want? I’ve got no time for sh*t okay?”
Vanessa gave a firm nod in response “Let’s go somewhere private to discuss a few things.. I believe we both have the same motives and as the saying goes.. an enemy of an enemy is a friend” She added with a sly smirk on her red lips..

Arya stepped down from the car and lowered her head staring at Mia who was in the car with Ray who was sound asleep..
“Cover up for me… if kyle asks about me tell him I stopped by at my restaurant”
Mia gave a nod even though she didn’t know why Arya was asking her to lie to her brother, but whatever it was, she should most definitely be careful..
“Alright! come back soon” Mia murmured and soon after the car slowly moved away..
Arya took in a deep breath and pulled out her phone, she brought the phone to her ear, almost immediately someone tapped her from behind..
She turned back and her once happy mood fell just by looking at him in the face..
“Good you’re here.. anyway did you get their location?”
Cole nodded his head in affirmation, he handed Arya a piece of paper which contained some scribblings..
“I did”
Arya collected it with a straight face and tapped on her phone for a while..
“I guess our deal is over.. do yourself a favor and get out of this country..”
Cole stared down at his phone which just beeped, he forced a smile at her but deep down he was so embarrassed of himself, Arya just sent the money she promised if he got a task done..
She was just about to leave when Cole reached out to her shoulder.
“Arya.. if by any chance Mr Anderson is no longer by your side.. I’ll always be here for you”
Arya’s face fell in disgust after hearing what he just said..
“Eww.. no!”
